Pittsburgh - Live video from Warhol gravesite for birthday
Print Edition
The Andy Warhol Museum is launching a live video feed from the pop artist’s gravesite to honor his 85th birthday.
The project, a partnership with the EarthCam webcam network, was going live Monday at midnight, the museum said.
Warhol museum Director Eric Shiner said the project is titled “Figment” because of a Warhol quote in which the artist said, “I always thought I’d like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph and no name. Well, actually, I’d like it to say, ‘Figment’.”
The suburban Pittsburgh gravestone has Warhol’s original surname, Warhola, the dates of his birth and death and a cross. Warhol’s 85th birthday would have been Tuesday. He died in 1987.
